    Weird mental states

    Thank you dear. It does help so much when others have had this same experience. It ACTUALLY KEEPS ME GOING. So I can not thank you enough for validating me and giving me hope. If you are making it maybe I can too. I return to this thread to help myself. Thank you

    Lost my lifetime best friend

    My best friend of 28 years died of a drug overdose. I thought I may finally loose touch w reality and just loose my mind. I have been doing okish though. I've been staying with her mom and getting all arrangements made, room cleaned (a bit), telling stories, laughing, crying, and feeling...

    Weird mental states

    The structure and the schedule thing is huge than huge. I have been working on the same thing all of my life. Just recently, I came to a theory about this. Especially for those of us who were abused/neglected. The boundaries of our internal structure of our ego were always violated. So our...

    Weird mental states

    That is what I am trying to do. But it's like what's the point on life? Are we just distracting ourselves until it's over?.. Yes you were the first to express an understanding to me! I can't not overstate that your understanding may have saved my life dear one. The only thing worse than...

    Weird mental states

    Hello everyone. I have had so many weird internal experiences that I just can't fully put into words. My Dr. Put me out of work for bit to heal. I have been home 7 weeks. I noticed this horrible feeling when there is no distractions, no external guidance. I don't know what to call it. But...

    Wow Friday. How may this work w regular panic attacks or phobias? I know it is pretty common but you have had it a while. Have you don't some trauma work to release?

    Can you lose your soul? PTSD and emotional "reduction"

    I understand sideways and hate the stigma too. But there is this emptiness feeling, vacuum things, that I do feel is spirtual. It's almost the worst experience I've had. I've noticed other ppl don't have it. I also seem to just not be self directed. Sometimes I feel like there is nothing...

    Can you lose your soul? PTSD and emotional "reduction"

    This is very interesting to me. This is a topic have have felt into. I have long felt that in times of trauma, the soul goes down and the ego defenses go up. I am partaking in a course now with Sera Beak that is soul work to retrieve this soul loss. She speaks of the difference between the...

    Weird dissociative-like state in sleep

    Thanks Shimmerz. I hope to have some way to chat with you. I am off of work for a bit and I am working on my healing. I took the first 7 weeks to just rest, play, and reflect on everything. I am now diving in to the healing. I would love to run my plan by you. ALSO I find myself so lost...

    Weird dissociative-like state in sleep

    Shimmerz, This reply helped me more than you could possibly know. It helped me more than anything (and I do have a lot of tools). To hear from someone like me that this IS OK... was priceless. I kind of went into a "just forget about it all" phase the last month. This reply of your gave me...

    Weird dissociative-like state in sleep

    I have 2 therapists and several mentors. But this is so strange. It has LITERALLY gotten me through the last few days knowing you guys said you have had this. Not that I want anyone to suffer. I just still don't feel like I can describe it. Are people able to have these and still work? Have...

    Weird dissociative-like state in sleep

    No I don't. Sleep was ok until I started waking w these. I won't fall asleep in public. I guess I am afraid bc I am not explalining how it really is. I am doing my best w my awareness and limitations of language. This experience can not be out fully into words. It feels like a psychosis...

    Weird dissociative-like state in sleep

    Thank you for this! It means the WORLD to me that anyone has experienced this. I am not even describing it fully it is way worse than my description but that's the best I can do. I fear this isn't anxiety and some sort of psychosis. I am afraid it won't stop. That it will get worse. That it...
